NF1 and neoplasm: Importantly, we show that this selective effect can be reproduced with multiple drugs known to modulate autophagy and in several NF1 patient‐matched tumor‐derived cell lines, as well as Drosophila in vivo NF1 models and xenografts of NF1‐deficient tumor cell lines in mice, indicating that these repurposed drugs may have promise for the treatment of NF1‐associated tumors in the future.
